The Scallop Shell - Mendip

Sad to say cooked breakfast was overpriced and average at best. My wife ordered 2 poached eggs on toast, What she got was 1 poached egg 1 hard boiled egg and a mouthful of eggshell . Craftily the hard egg was place under the poached egg. Mentioned it to the waitress who tbf couldn't give a Monkies !!! With coffee that was poor it came to £24 ... I know times are difficult but come on guys bit of pride in your work....

I ordered take away fish and chips for two and was given a buzzer that would alert me as I waited in my car when my order was ready. After waiting more than twenty minutes I returned to query the length of my wait (it was not busy); the buzzer sounded as I reached the door of the shop. I was told I had been buzzed five times (the buzzer had not sounded while I was in my car clearly for whatever reason there is a range issue) and that a member of staff had looked for me in the car park (obviously they had not looked very far). I seemed not to be believed that the buzzer did not work and, when I queried whether my food would still be hot if they had spent some time supposedly buzzing and looking for me, I was glibly told my food would still be hot and no offer was made to replace my order with fresh food. After a very short drive home I discovered the inevitable: the food was lukewarm and inedible. £24 had been wasted. My last visit to Whiterow Fish and Chips.

We went to buy 1 take away fish and chips and 1 adult scampi. What can I say? pretty poor really given the two cost £24. 7 scampi of which one was so deep fried it was burnt and chips that whilst hot, were under cooked. Had we not driven home to Warminster I would have sent them back. The fish was OK but again portion size seems to have fish cooked as a portion not your normal piece of fish. I wouldn't recommend given its so expensive and that price tag is not justified.

Called in for a fish and chip takeaway. After waiting approximately 10 minutes, thinking our dinner would be lovely, as we presumed cooked to order. We arrived home in under 5 minutes to enjoy our dinner. Sorry, let me rephrase that..... Fish was cold and rubbery, batter dark brown, chips cold and soggy. As for our large mushy peas, cold and certainly not large! For the price charged you should at least expect the meal to be hot. No more visits to Whiterow Farm Shop, we'll pay less and get better quality from our local chippy!

We have used Whiterow Farm Cafe to meet friends for a number of years and until yesterday have always received a warm welcome and good service. There were four of us who met up as usual at 11am yesterday. We ordered coffee (which arrived at 11.20am) and declined the invitation to order food at that point as it was our intention to stay for lunch. At 12 noon the waitress arrived at our table (having been sent by the supervisor) requesting that if we were not intending to order more drinks and food then we would be asked to leave as the table was required for lunch. We reluctantly ordered more drinks having only just finished the first ones and we were at that point still in the middle of catching up. Having been made to feel so unwelcome we decided against ordering lunch and went to the friendly local village pub where we spent most of the afternoon. Beckington Farm shop cafe is far from the place it used to be and has become far too commercialised and greedy. We will not return but I don't suppose they care if we do or not.
